Blue Tarantula?

Hi all,

About a week ago I was trying out a new camera and for a test run I did Orion and Tarantula nebulas (nebulae?). I got good colour with M42 but Tarantula looks blue, I don't remember seeing it look like this with other peoples shots.

I've posted both images from the night. They have been stacked using DeepSkyStacker but the only processing is that I have increased the saturation. Was it holding it's breath, maybe I was. Any ideas?

Both images were taken through an ED80 on a Canon 1000D. Tarantula was 7x5 min ISO 800 and 3 darks.
